| S.T.A.G.E. said: Two niche games on one console from a brand that doesn't a good track record with third party nor attracting their fanbase to third party. Bayonetta will barely scratch 1 M lifetime and Devil Third will probably hit 700k at the most. |
You say that as if it's a bad thing. Selling 1M Bayo2 and 0,7M D3rd are actually pretty good sales. Specially for a Nintendo platform.
Those 2 games have a very small fanbase and are both 2 new IPs, 0 advertising, and are not AAA in terms of budget. Even on PS4 those kinds of games have a bad time selling well. Just look at PS4 VGchartz database, aside from the big-budget, already stablished IPs and hyped to hell games, like CoD, FIFA, BF WD, AC, and it's 1st party exclusives, all other games sold like crap.
Games such as Wolfstein, Thief, soul suspect Murdered, etc, sold way below the 0,7M mark and those were advertised, already stablished IPs with fanbases (except soul suspect), ina platform with bigger install base, and i'm pretty sure they had budgets way bigger than Bayo2 and D3rd.
If Bayo2 and D3rd manage to sell 1M and 0,7M Nintendo will cry tears of hapiness. And honestly, I think they'll accomplish pretty good numbers.
